I am please to announce that singers Nicole Stover, Kaylee Parker, Andrew Hann, and Michael Manganiello will be the featured soloists for the premiere of Requiem on November 2, 2025, 4pm at Emmanuel Church in Baltimore. As regular members of the Emmanuel Church choir, these impressive musicians are colleagues and frequent collaborators—an ideal situation for brining a new work to life.

Creating this requiem has been a significant and deeply personal endeavor for me. Entrusting its premiere to the musicians of the Emmanuel Choir under Christian Lane’s direction is an experience few composers can wish for. When I first heard the ensemble perform several years ago, I knew this was where I wanted my requiem to be born. Superb musicianship, artistic vision, and a willingness to take risks—these are the qualities that make such a collaboration a true gift to any composer.
